Highlights from Microsoft Tech Summit

Due to some bad timing I wasn’t able to attend the Microsoft Tech Summit event this week in Birmingham, but thankfully Microsoft have put a lot of the sessions up online. I’ve been working my way through some of the sessions and thought it would be useful to highlight the ones that I thought were useful.

Office 365

Deploy Microsoft Office 2016 the right way

Excellent presentation from Brian Canady on Office 2016 ProPlus. His high level take on deploying this version and how it could impact/benefit your business is very informative.

John Gruszczyk covers off the best way to deploy Office 365 ProPlus using Configuration Manager (SCCM) within your environment and how they work best together. This is a good session to watch in conjunction with Brian Canady’s session.
